Description

Oxford University Tennis Club’s court in Merton Street is the home of real tennis in Oxford. This is the original tennis, played in an indoor court with sloping surfaces, galleries, and other unusual features. Although generally referred to as Oxford University Tennis Club (OUTC), the Merton Street premises are shared by two organisations: the OUTC itself to which members of the University can belong, and the Oxford Senior Tennis Club which is open to others. In practice students and seniors combine as one entity to enjoy the game together. There is play at all levels with junior, student and senior members playing all the year round, overseen by two full time professionals. Membership is simple – just phone or call in and talk to the pros. If you’d like to know more about the sport, you’re welcome to come along to the club and watch a game.

General Info

Oxford has had a real tennis court since 1595 and has been on the current site since 1798. Over the centuries many courts have fallen into disuse. However during the revival of the game over the last couple of decades new ones are being built and others brought back into commission. There are about 25 courts in general use throughout the UK, many situated in attractive locations of old country houses and schools. Our clubhouse was completely rebuilt in 1997 and now includes: changing rooms, a club room, plus a meeting/dining room. The court itself was refurbished in 2002. The club has over 200 members, and is open from 8 till 10.30, seven days a week. There is a small shop, equipment for hire, plus a racquet repair service. The two resident professionals, Andrew Davis and Craig Greenhalgh, are on hand Mondays to Fridays from 09:00 to 17:30, and Saturday mornings, for bookings and coaching, and to welcome new members.
